Psychogeographical mapping of coincidence in Leeds and Dortmund. Drifting through superimposed narratives of two cities at once.

||| research:dortmund |||Dortmund is in the Ruhr region of Germany. The whole area was bombed heavily during World War Two, and Dortmund was no exception. It was a major industrial city, with important coking and oil plants, as well as producing armour and turrets for Panther tanks. By the end of the Second World War, 65% of the metropolitan area and 93% of the city centre were destroyed.

My research has initially focused on finding out when air raids occurred. To date, most research has been online; a few sites contain reliable records of Bomber Command and USAAF sorties. Findings are presented chronologically, as well as a miscellaneous section and separate page on the Steinwache Memorial Museum.
